My thoughts on these:
1. I don't like the cover art on these (not that it matters too much) - it just takes the original artwork and makes it look a bit dumb
2. I am really keen now to hear the extra material and see the DVDs - I won't be getting the vinyls though (except probably Aeroplane Flies High and Machina II because they haven't been available on vinyl before so I don't have them)
3. I kind of think they should just be doing the studio albums (plus Machina II) - although Pisces Iscariot is the best b-sides album of all time, I just don't think it's really necessary - as Tim said, not sure what they'd put on it since they've used some of the things you'd expect to be on it for the Siamese Dream/Gish ones. The only SD era b-sides that weren't on PI that they could add are French Movie Theme (which isn't that great), Purr Snickety, Apathy's Last Kiss, Siamese Dream and Never Let Me Down.
4. I kind of think that they shouldn't do the Aeroplane Flies High, but I am also sort of pleased I will be able to get all of these songs on vinyl now. I am interested in how they're going to package it though, I would like to see it not being identical to the original because it kind of dilutes how awesome that box set is. I think it would need to be on 3 CDs minimum. It's 33 songs and one of them is 25 minutes long (although you can't call it a song really, it's just a poorly edited together mash off riffs recorded at rehearsal, kind of weird but also kind of interesting - I probably listen to the whole track maybe once a year)
5. Machina II - really glad that this is finally getting a release, there are some killer tracks on here. By the way, although Machina is my least favorite pre-breakup album of theirs, the packaging of the vinyl is awesome (and mine is signed by Jimmy too!)

BUT what I really really want is the final concert at the Metro to come out. Four and a half hours long! That teaser of An Ode To No-One that they threw on the Greatest Hits DVD as an extra was incredible (and also really mean that it didn't come out after that, although I know that wasn't Billy's fault).

I know everyone clamors for the final show. I'd rather have an MCIS era show. Like maybe those 2 set shows they played as a warmup for the tour.

That would be good. I used to have one of those shows on VHS (recorded off the TV, so it was only part of the show, but still awesome).

It had the acoustic set first - 33, Cupid De Locke and 1979 and then they came back out in their rockstar clothes (Billy in the silver pants and zero shirt) and launch into Zero. It also had Thru the Eyes of Ruby, Porcelina, To Forgive, BWBW.
